Congressman George d. Tilman, of
the Second district of South Carolina,
is profoundly impressed with Henry
George and his movement. In an in
terview he seys 81 consider that Mr..
George is preaching a gospel of labor
which he got from Ireland just as
Ireland once taught the Christian faith
to pagan nations. Mr. George is doing
more to rally the laboring men of the
whole world than any other reformer.
He is becoming an important element
in the next Presidency, and may be
the deciding Issue. Men who ignore
him make a great mistake"

Prospective Coal Prices.

The prospect of hard coal going to
$1,000 ton next month and standing at
that figure all winter is not cheerful. and
yet all the coal dealers say that nothing
can prevent it. The price of coal is some
thing from which competition seems alb
solutely driven away here, the railroad
and dealers charging iron-clad rates with
equal unanimity. If there is any one
thing that will tend to Tighten the far
mers burden after two years of hard luck. !
it would be the decrease-in his fuel bill.
Twelve hard earned dollars, saved from,
short crops and low prices, look like
small fortune to surrender for ton OF
coal. The consumers of the town are
equally unfortunate and the matter is all
the more exasperating from their appar-
ent inability to help themselves. 1t seems
that here is chance for the Farmers Al
lance to help out its members.

A Dakota MenagerIe.

Gr1uu 1Saplus
Winston Bros. have at last succeeded
in perfecting their arrangements for
making the tour with their aggregation.
and started to-day, (Thursday)
Their collection consists of all western
animals, and they have spared neither
pains nor money to make it complete.
Quite an adventure is > ed with the
capture of their buffalo bull, which is
now of tremendous proportions, for its
age. The buffalo COW was once the pet
of an Indian, and it was purchased only
by a great outlay of money. They have
made it point to get everything and
have in their aggregation many animals
which no other travelling show has in its
possession. Their buffaloes and silver
tipped bear are the only specimens of
their kind travelling.
LaMoure will be their first point of ex-
hibiting, as great interest is manifested
in the show at that place. Glendale
will be the next place, and from there
they will make tour Of the southern
part Of the territory, taking in the county
fairs. By the time winter sets in they
will have reached the southern states,
where they will meet with even more sue
cess, as the buffaloes will draw crowd
in short time. Their complete aggre-
cation of western animals is not the only
thing which will make it valuable for
sightseers. They have grand French
panorama, of Dantes' Inferno, which
alone will attract widespread attention.
Several persons from this place will ac-
them, among whom are: J. @.
Crawford, Chas Lewis, c. n. Wheeler
and Chas. Anderson.

VIII Consult a Specialist

Captain VIM. Mcclellan and Mr. Benz.
Thaw left yesterday afternoon for the
east. The captain will stop at Chicago
Tor the purpose OF consulting specialist
in regard to the recent injury to his eyes.
While his friends all hope and belie-e,
and DIR. DePuy is confident that his eve
sight will be completely restored still it
is thought best not to waste any time in
securing the very best services in the
country. One eye at least is all right
and the other in all probability will be
the same, but both are weak, and the cap
tain must be confined to his room for
some weeks yet. He desires to extend
his sincere thanks to the friends in James,
town who SO kindly remained with him,
to the Gladstone people for their unre-
m1ttlng attentions, and especially to DR..
DePuy for his skillful services.

RetuIl lne to the Capital.

Gov. Chuudh and son Thomas, Aslditor
Ward and Attorney General Tenipseton,
remained over night at the Gladstone,
and went west on FrSelay'. They are re-
turning from Huron, and other points IN
the southern part of the territory where
military interests have scentered the past
week. The governor was pleased to laear
that the general sentiment pronounced
the encampnaent success, and 'that
instruction and benefit to the militia
companies had been derived from the
weeks practice, as the law contemplated,
and for which the appropriation so hber-
ally provided. He also expressed his sln-
cere regret that a stress of circumstances
compelled him to act as dieiplinarian to
any members of his staff, and intimated
that If any way was possible to help mat
tiers he would not be averse to doing 50.
He is convinced now as tlen, that the
only check that could have been put
upon the growing discord at the camp
was his action above referred to, and III
the. Light of later events and cooler sur
vey Of the situation the general sentl-
ment must certainly agree that the gov
ernor's action was wise and timely. he
is Glad to get back to the capital again,
and hopes The end of his trips between
Huron and Bismarck in getting has fam
lily settled, has arrived.

Good Crops in Wells County

The Sykes farms in Wells county have
proven highly satisfa ctory this year in
their yield of grain. Manager Legg has
been at Sykeston for several days super
intending the threshing now going on
there. He is well known to be con-
servative and cautious farmer, never plac-
ing too high or too low an estimate upon
any statement or figures in regard to the
syndicate's grain yields, but he states that
this year has proven exceptionally salts
factory. and that wheat is running in
Wells county from 18 to 26 bushels per
acre. One section he thinks will certain
ly make the latter figures. This is re-
markable yield for section of land. He
says the heads are solid and well filed to
the top and while the straw is not large
the grain is.
MIR. Legg left last night for the Mime
sofa state fair, where Sykes & Co. have
on exhibition a herd of black thorough
bred cattle, from the hardwood, La. farm

Corn in DakOta.

The success which has been met with
in growing corn this year has been aanat-
ter of considerable surprise to eastern
visitors looking over Dakota, and the
number Of little patches Throughout the
county have frequently 1been remarked
upon. Many farmers planted simply as
fan experiment., calculating that if the
corn did aot mature the crop could be
a,sed for fodder. Judge Hamilton dsove
through the Elaridge nelslborhood Nsev-
eral days ago, and states that he was snr-
prised to observe number of excellent
felds. Mr.. Hazt, south of shat place, has
field of squaw corn that will yield 600
bushels; Hugh Bole has three or four
acres that will husk outa good yield, and
A. w. Cunningham boasts patch of the
celebrated Iowa .cient corn that is looking,
first rate. The judge noticed several
other fine fields, and thinks the growing
of earn in Dakota should be encouraged.

these thoroughbreds will be sold October

herd and the animals are all thoroughly
acclimated, hardy, valuable stock. The
herd was started from shorthorns brought

INTERESTING STRUGGLE.

ST.. Louis, Sept. 14-The inception of
a very interesting struggle for the cast
bound passenger business will he wit
messed here this week, made the more in
terssting by the uncertainty that prevails
and which is for the most part contingent
upon the phases Of the quarrel arisen
among the Chicago railroads. Once Wig
toVOus measures are take mere ito protect
'the interests Of the city, it will be too
late to retract, and the local lines will
feel Obliged to meet cut upon cut ii such
should be the example set in the North

about by the conditions now obtaining i'll

local roads propose ignoring altogether
the claims OF St. Louis, is sure TO
folI1w in short time, Will near
considerable to the tourist contemplating,
q trip eastward, and may serve to infuse
little life in7the passenger business OF
the New York lines, which,of late has
been exceedingly dull. 1t is understood
that the Pennsylvania inestclaim that a
low and unguarded rate to philadelphia
should not have affected New York
travel or made the lines ito that city in
anywise nerTo1s over the situation, but
the latter have thought different, and,
aside from amy other consideration of the
matter, it would appear strange that the
majority of travellers would mot seek out
New York in visiting the sQuaker City,
and stranger sill if the bulk Of tourists
would remain SO innocent as not to know
that with an unrestricted ticket to the
Pennsylvania stswn the .paute to New
YodSz would be considerably cheapened.
Nothing very definite has yetbeen learned
as to the course that will be adopted by
the local lines, although it is informally
announced that the Bee Line will shortly
put in a rate of from SIS to SIT, as the
circumstances may be.
